Day 14 we finish the biuld

When we arrive this morning, the beds have arrived and are lined up, ready with mattresses on them. Because Xolarnie has helped every day and worked so hard, he is a lovely young man who wants to do the best for his Mum. We discovered that he sleeps in the round house on the floor. So as a surprise and thankbyou he has been given a bed too.
He did not expect this and was so amazed! It is so hard for us to comprehend their gracious attitude to life. No fussing or moaning, just kindness and humbleness.
and the windows now have glass in them.
The beds are made locally by a man whose wife has cancer, and he struggles to support them with paying for her care. Coco's commission him every month with something to make to help give him an income.
We are later arriving today because we went to the biulders merchants to fet supplies. The biulders are having a tea break, the sun is blazing, and we are all excited to see what colour the paint is for the house. It is donated by a company who give it for every home, so it just depends on what they have just made.
It's green! We are happy as most are biege and we really wanted a colour.
So we need to paint. We are in our old clothes, factor 50 sun cream on, ode de Africa is on ( that's mosquitos repelant), sun hats and glasses and very yukky biulding gloves on, we are all ready for action.
Brushing away, it is very hot and good to be on the shady side of the home. The paint is drying quickly.
When done, we eat the packed lunch we made, whilst it finishes drying.

Next is a protective sealant coat over the whole biulding.
This goes on easy and drys quickly. The outside is complete.Leggi altro
